Due diligence on the borrower should include a review of the borrower's previous communication patterns with previous lenders.I personally live this one with one of my borrowers, who basically ghosted me once they received the moneys from the loan.

Selling would basically mean they lose all benefit of the property and maybe ultimately that’s what will happen.Just looking for ideas for them to explore.

What are the basic steps?

This is some of the most basic info for those interested in started a STR.

I am striving to purchase rental/lease properties within a 1 hour drive.

I basically ended up paying for the rehab twice and lost tens of thousands of dollars to make sure my lenders were all paid back. 

Another question I had however is, when/if you ever decide to sell, do you believe they are harder to sell due to it basically having to sell to another investor looking for this and not someone looking for full time living space?
